Portable information processing apparatus

摘要

A portable information processing apparatus is configured to dissipate heat generated in a cabinet mainly from a part which a user hardly touches, and thus the temperature at a palm rest is suppressed. The cabinet includes a heat conducting spacer 16 provided over a heat-generating component 15 to conduct heat thereof, a heat absorption area 10ah to absorb the heat of the heat-generating component 15 through the heat conducting spacer 16, and a heat conduction obstructing area 10rb provided on a heat conduction path between the heat absorption area 10ah and the palm rest 11 to reduce a cross-sectional area of the heat conduction path. Accordingly, heat conduction from the high-temperature heat generating component 15 to the palm rest 11 is restricted, and thus the temperature of the palm rest 11 can be limited.
